Every spring and every autumn, we choose the best raptor migration observatories in Tarifa to enjoy the show with our clients. No matter how many hours we have spent enjoying this overlooked wonder, there is always something new to discover. We do never get enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could have never imagined, however, that we would witness a memorable moment of Griffon Vulture migration from home. This can only happen in Tarifa, of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#birdingathome<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last 7th of April, strong easterly winds were blowing in the strait. Gales reached up 25 knots. Under these circumstances, we wouldn\u2019t expect any raptor migration going on over Tarifa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At noon, Javi was working on his computer when he heard the alarm call of a Yellow-legged Gull. Instinctively, he grabbed his binoculars and leaned off the window. Much to his surprise, he saw a Griffon at eye level! Next, he hurried to get his camera and ran to the terrace. Over the next 20 minutes he witnesses a steady arrival of Griffons to Europe, after crossing the strait of Gibraltar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/birdingthestrait.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/2_44A2342-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A Griffon Vulture on migration, flying low over the roofs of Tarifa.

Some were flying flush water drills, exhausted. Moreover, the wind made them drift west. This way, vultures were forced to fly an increased distance across the ocean. Moreover, some ended up flying over the &#8220;Isla de Las Palomas&#8221; in Tarifa (the southernmost tip of the continent). Here, there is a large colony of Yellow-legged gulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Angry Gulls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is something gulls do not tolerate, is a large raptor around their territory. In addition, gulls seem to have a special ability to detect birds that are struggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/birdingthestrait.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/44A2351-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The same Griffon as in the previous pictures, taking off and struggling to gain altitude while being chased by a gang of angry gulls.

This is a cooling behaviour in which birds keep their bills open and rapidly flap gular membranes to increase evaporation. This is the equivalent to sweating in humans. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Flocks totalling over 100 gulls fiercely chased the unprepared Griffons. Certainly, they were not expecting such a hostile reception! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/birdingthestrait.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/6_44A2279.jpg\" alt=\"The same Griffon as in the previous pictures, taking off and struggling to gain altitude while being chased by a gang of angry gulls.

As a result, the vulture lost its balance and was brought down to the ground. He was forced to an emergency landing in Tarifa. Luckily, the vulture rapidly found shelter in a rock outcrop. About half an hour later, it caught its breath and took off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/birdingthestrait.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/4_44A2370-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The same Griffon as in the previous pictures, taking off and struggling to gain altitude while being chased by a gang of angry gulls.
